Survival to Godhood 139 Zeus' Legacy

Hiro looked at the Keravnós and thought that he did look like a younger Zeus. He smiled at the artifact spirit and said, "Thank you, Keravnós." Hiro frowned after that and collapsed to the ground. Even though his body had been reformed, it was exhausted to its peak.

"Now that you're the Young Master, please recuperate and when you are ready to come to see me."

Hiro sat there cross-legged for many days recovering and coming to terms with the things he saw in his mind. After calming his mind, Hiro stood up to stretch his limbs. He pulled out his katana and practiced the movements he was taught as a kid.

He finished his practice and bowed. "Thank you, Obsan."

Hiro then walked over Keravnós. The spirit smiled upon seeing him, and Keravnós said," Young Master before I pass you Zeus' techniques and experiences, I wish to tell you his story so you can understand the responsibility you must mantle now."

"What responsibility?" asked Hiro.

"Young Master, let me tell you a story so you can understand the late Master's responsibility he took upon himself. The story begins a long time ago when the world was in chaos. The physically endowed tribe referred to as the Titans were a race of mighty cultivators that were one of the few races on Earth not a descendant of Adam."

"Who is this, Adam? How has he impacted so many planets and races?"

The spirit paused for a second and then said, "Knowledge is a powerful thing, but it can also endanger your life. Once you become stronger, I may tell you what I know."

Hiro wondered what kind of being could impact so much that Keravnós was terrified even to discuss him.

Keravnós looked at Hiro and then continued where he left off. "So, the titans were led by an evil tyrant named Uranus. Uranus hated non-cultivators so much that he would wipe out all groups of mortals that crossed his path. These acts angered many cultivators across Earth, and so many warriors descended upon the titans to wipe them out. Odin, a warrior of Asgard, was about to slay him when a woman in black armor entered the battlefield and saved Uranus' life. She alone drove off all the cultivators, and her name was Lucifer Nightingale."

"That must be Lucy's ancestor," Hiro mumbled to himself.

"Lucifer made Uranus promise a favor to her with no questions asked which the proud titan agreed to instantly. With the promise made, Lucifer disappeared. A knight in red armor appeared years later with a baby in hand. The knight asked the titan to watch the baby and to ensure no harm comes to her. The titan agreed and named her Rhea. Rhea and Chronos, Uranus' son, grew up together and loved each other very much. Rhea was pained to see how much Uranus pushed Cronus to become the best. His training of Chronos at times was even cruel. One day in anger, Chronos tried to kill his father but failed. In the process, Uranus wounded Chronos causing to lose much is his cultivation. Only due to Rhea intervention did Uranus stop his assault on his son for fear of injuring Rhea."

"Where was Chronos' mother through all this?"

"Gaea? She was locked away in the Titans castle to only bare Uranus children and cultivated. She never got to see Chronos or her other children due to Uranus strict rules."

"This man was evil. No wonder his son wished to see him fall."

"Yes, Chronos' revenge wouldn't come for many years though. He wandered the Earth until he found a master to train him. A man clads in red armor saved him when Chronos was fighting a giant bird beast. The man was the infamous Blood Knight servant of Lucifer the Harbinger."

"The Blood Knight must be Reiner ancestor. Who would have thought they had such a rich history?" Hiro told himself thinking about the Nightingale family.

"The Blood Knight trained Chronos in death mana arts and taught him in the way of the scythe. Chronos returned a century later to free his people of his father's tyranny. Catching his father off guard, Chronos crippled him and locked him away like he did his mother. Chronos and Rhea married with Gaea as their witness. The titans prospered in Chronos' reign until one day a man gave Chronos a prophecy."

"Could people really predict the future?" Hiro asked.

"Those that study the long-forgotten time mana arts could sometimes predict catastrophic events. So, the prophet told him the following line. One day he, in turn, would be overthrown by his son, ending the pure titan bloodline. Those words caused the titan, Chronos, to fear his own children, and in fear, he locked them away. Of Chronos' children, Zeus rebelled and escaped his prison with the help of Gaea and Rhea. In his anger, Chronos imprisoned his wife and mother and sent the titan tribe to search the globe to find his fleeing son. The titans once again ravaged the nearby villages raping and killing mortals in the name of finding Zeus. Chronos essentially became the man he overthrew himself."

"So, what did my Senior do?" Hiro asked, referring to Zeus.

"He scoured the world to find an artifact strong enough to defeat his father. Sailing the oceans of the world, Zeus was inspired by the high power of storms. From them, he invented his cultivation technique. In a pit near Asia, Zeus found a poison called Wine of Death, a dark blood red liquid that could kill any being below an ascended god. He returned to titan village with the poison. The titans attacked the Zeus upon recognizing him, and Zeus unleashed half of the Wine of Death killing most of the tribe. Zeus then freed his family and confronted his father."

Keravnós paused for a second and remembered how regretful Zeus felt after killing his tribe. It was his number one guilt that traveled with him until he perished.

"His father, in a rage, attacked Zeus and his family. Chronos at the time was the number one disputed warrior on Earth and for a good reason. Zeus used the remaining Wine of Death to weaken his father, then by joining hands with his brothers, Hades and Poseidon, struck down their father killing him. The remaining titans in the world attacked Zeus and his brothers. The family eventually fended off the titan attacks and killed many of the surviving titans. With this happening, the prophecy came full circle."

"So, this is what they call a self-fulfilling prophecy," Hiro remarked.

"Yes, Zeus felt the same. Zeus renamed the tribe's area into Olympus and ruled for many years until he ascended. Your Master always had a feeling that someone pulled strings behind that prophecy. In the higher realm, a tyrant by the name Adam enslaved all those who arose from our plane. Zeus rebelled again and was slain in the process. In his final moments, he protected this planet and allowed mana to return."
